The Winshark Madnessday Bonus Explained
Madnessday pays 40% of your deposit up to €250, every Wednesday, from a €20 minimum.
Wagering is 45x the bonus, winnings from the bonus and the spins are capped at five times your deposit, and the maximum bet while it runs is €5.
The Lightest Bonus on the Site to Clear
40% is the lowest match rate Winshark offers, and that means less betting rather than a worse deal.
Deposit €200 here and you get €80 of bonus, have to bet €3,600, and the bonus can turn into at most €1,000.
Deposit €200 on the first welcome bonus and you get €150, have to bet €6,750, and can still only withdraw €1,000, because that figure is five times your deposit either way.
So the welcome bonus hands you €70 more to play with and nearly twice as much betting to get through, for the same limit on what the bonus can turn into. If you are aiming to cash out rather than to play longer, this is the easier route.
It Runs on a UTC Day, Not Your Day
The window is 00:00 to 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, and it is claimable once inside it.
That is worth checking against your own clock. In central Europe the window closes at 00:59 on Thursday morning in winter and 01:59 in summer, so a late Wednesday deposit still qualifies. Further west it closes earlier in local terms than the name suggests, and in Asia or Australia a Wednesday evening deposit at home can fall outside it entirely.
One claim per promotional day also means a second Wednesday deposit adds nothing. Size the first one properly.
What It Looks Like in Numbers
Deposit €100 and the bonus is €40. You have to bet €1,800, and the bonus can turn into at most €500.
Deposit €625 and the bonus reaches its €250 cap, the betting is €11,250, and the bonus can turn into at most €3,125. Past €625 the bonus and the betting both stop while that limit keeps rising with your deposit.
The detail worth noticing is that a €100 deposit buys a €40 bonus that is allowed to turn into €500. Very few reload bonuses let a bonus grow to more than ten times its own size. Read how reload bonuses work if you are weighing it against a welcome step.
